Busy Busy Busy!!!

I'm feeling better now that I spent the entire day sleeping!! Yay! I just got back to Burlington this evening. I had dinner with Lynda and Sydne (I guess I'm friends with chicks with y's in their names!) - we went to the Cheesecake Factory, I had only eaten there once before like 10 years ago, but everyone talks about how AMAZING it is, so why not... it was good, but not amazing like everyone talks about. The desert (strawberry shortcake) and the mashed potatoes were probably the best parts of my meal -it's a total toss up! We were there for a couple hours, the time just flew by! It was good to see them and catch up, oh and they brought me new business cards from work!! Ha ha! They changed our logos and website, so everyone got new cards and fancy pens! I love that they're still making stuff for me even though I'm gone! And, who knows, I might be back soon... but I'm still going to start part time when I go back, because it's totally going to kick my ass!

Tomorrow I'm going to have a girls night slumber party with Sydne and Lynda which should be fun! We might even go out for drinks or something, oh and of course, play Nintendo Wii!! Man, I wish I had Nintendo Wii when I was a kid, I woulda had waaaay more friends, just kidding!

One a more serious note, I've been meaning to mention this for a week, but kept forgetting. If you know anyone that is looking to do a good deed, click here. There is a man with stage 4 non-hodgkin's lymphoma, who is "selling" his cancer on eBay. Right now, he's only at $242.50, he's got 3 kids and although I don't know him, his story intrigues me. Please pass the link on to your friends, especially if they're feeling charitable, thanks!

Oh and one more new chemopalooza fact - my blog hit numbers have almost doubled in the past 2 weeks, before I was around 30-50 hits a day, and now I'm almost at 80 a day!!! Yay! I heart new readers and the amount of comments I've been getting lately! Thanks everyone for the support, and of course, for reading my randomness! Oh and about that wig that you all love - you have no idea how terribly hot it was!!! If the were mine, I would chop a ton of the hair off, probably to my shoulders, otherwise I would be a sweaty disaster wearing it! But it's always good to hear you look good, so thanks!! It really did look like my old hair. Soon enough folks, soon enough!! One more thing, I'm pretty sure I still owe a billion email replies and phone calls, stay tuned, I'm sorry it's taking me so long, I've been super busy and I promise I'm not ignoring you!

Glad you got out and had some agree. I like the Cheesecake Factory (not love), mostly for the meetloaf and cheesecake...hehe. Mashed potatoes are good, too. I didn't realize you were in Burlington still. I thought you had moved home again. We should definitely get together soon then! Let me know what works for you to get the LPP crew together.
